Chapter 1589: Identity of the 1588 Men in Black

“Really?” Hamillen’s eyes darted around before he looked away, “I… I didn’t smell anything.”

Tan Rou purposefully said, “Maybe I smelled it wrong. There are so many cotton candy scents here, perhaps there’s one that smells like medicine.”

Before Hamillen could respond, the cotton candy vendor interjected, “Young lady, what you’re saying isn’t right. Our cotton candy is made from natural fruit, so how could it smell like medicine?”

Tan Rou smiled, “Then I must have smelled something wrong.” She said while glancing toward Hamillen.

Noticing her gaze, Hamillen replied, “There’s no smell of medicine on me, if you smelled medicine, it must have been from somewhere else.”

“That’s not necessarily true.” Tan Rou suddenly said, “We have an old saying in our country, ‘If you stay in the restroom all the time, you can’t smell the stink.'”

Hamillen wasn’t a fool, and he immediately caught Tan Rou’s implications, but he could not admit to having a medicinal smell. “I already told you there’s no smell of medicine on me, don’t you understand?”

Tan Rou grinned, “Mr. Hamillen, why are you getting mad? I was just joking with you. If you don’t like what I’m saying, then I’ll stop.”

Hamillen replied, very anxiously, “My cotton candy will be ready soon, so I won’t chat with you any longer.”

The vendor said, “Don’t rush off, you just took a number, and I haven’t started making your cotton candy yet, so you need to wait for me to call your number.”

Hamillen’s expression was very conflicted, but in the end, he reluctantly waited for his cotton candy.

Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu sat down beside him, deliberately discussing topics related to hand injuries.

Tan Rou spoke, “Darling, I also want to learn how to make cotton candy, but my wrist is injured and can’t handle the pressure.”

Zhuang Liu cooperated perfectly, “Dear, I’ll learn to make cotton candy and then make it for you.”

Tan Rou replied very annoyed, “Ah, it’s my own fault for being careless. How did I get a cut on my wrist? After getting injured, I didn’t take good care of my hand, kept lifting heavy things, and now my hand is ruined and can’t lift heavy loads anymore.”

Zhuang Liu said with deep sympathy, “Dear, don’t worry. I’ll find the best doctor in the world to treat you.”

Tan Rou pretended to whisper, but loud enough for Hamillen to hear, “Yes, if my hand isn’t treated, I won’t be able to use a gun anymore. Next time we go to an amusement park for a shooting game, what if I can’t hit the target?”

Although Tan Rou was talking about toy guns, the words took on another meaning when Hamillen heard them. He glanced at Tan Rou and saw that she hadn’t noticed him, then looked away.

“You guys wait here; I’m going to buy something else,” Hamillen said.

Tan Rou waved gently at him, “Okay, goodbye.”

After he left, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu immediately followed him. There were still five or six people in line ahead of them, so it wasn’t their turn for the cotton candy yet.

Hamillen walked very fast, quickly ducking into an alley and then looked around to make sure no one was there before rolling up the sleeves on his wrist.

Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu leaned against the wall on either side, invisible from Hamillen’s angle, but they could clearly see what he was doing.

When he rolled up his sleeve, Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu could clearly see a bandage wrapped around his wrist with a small blood stain, apparently blood had seeped through from his wrist.

Hamillen brought the bandaged wrist to his nose to sniff, apparently not detecting any smell. He moved it closer, and this time he must have smelled something as he quickly pulled down his sleeve and started back out of the alley.

Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu quickly moved away. When Hamillen had gone some distance, they gathered together to talk.

“This should confirm it,” Tan Rou said, “He is the man in black from last night.”

“So you actually did smell something on his hand just now?” Zhuang Liu asked.

“How could I!” Tan Rou chuckled, “With that strong scent of cotton candy there, how could I possibly smell any medicinal scent on him? I was just tricking him.”
